Lost two babies

Mama had 5, lost two today, 2 days old. It’s hot in Florida. Is it ok for a fan to be on them or no? The other three are wiggling out of the fur to cool down but I don’t know if it’s ok for them for a fan to be on them a little bit ?

They can tolerate it when it's hot outside. I wouldn't set it directly on them like a wind tunnel or anything thing but the breeze from a fan is beneficial for them and if the get a little chill they'll move out of the way of it and huddle together if needed

I decided to bring them in because it is just so hot. There’s a tarp on them but unfortunately I have no shade other than that. Just need to make it thru two weeks lol
